Hi Sabine, I finally did a few basic sums and found my model adds up pretty well. More than a coincidence?! Only core particle mass is really significant in my 'model' where a Muon is a strongly bonded electron+positron (2 core particles) + non strongly bonded electron.. A Proton is 2 positrons strongly bonded to 1 electron (3 core particles).. a Tau is 2 positrons strongly bonded to 2 electrons (4 core particles) + non strongly bonded electron.. So: Tau Mass (more or less) = Proton Mass + (Proton Mass - Muon Mass), or it should in this model at least... 938+(938-105)=1771... Tau Mass is about 1776 MeV.. -- 938.27+(938.27-105.66)=1770.88... If you use the mass difference between neutron (proton + electron in this model) and proton (939.56-938.27=1.29) as a guide for what the spare electron does for a muon and tau compared to a proton you could do: 105.66-1.29=104.37 muon 'core mass'... 1776.86-1.29=1775.57 tau core mass... 938.27+(938.27-104.37)=1772.17 predicted tau core mass.. There must be another factor.. Also, I am using the Strong Force differently here. It should be called the 'Heavy Force'! -- When Taus and Muons slow from (near) light speed due to interaction with matter the electrons and positrons annihilate, leaving the spare electron. Also, the mass multiplier mechanism that makes 'heavily bonded' core electrons and positrons so much more massive than when free only kicks in when the tau or muon slows from (near) light speed while a proton's mass is permanent and travels with it.

In regard to the moon landing, it's not just SpaceX that is holding them back. SpaceX will probably be ready before anyone else for this mission. They still don't even have a space suit or are close to even finishing a prototype that works. Artemis 3 is not even built and the gateway space station which is required for docking and transferring astronauts is not even built. SpaceX is just a political scapegoat. There is a bigger chance of SpaceX landing people than Nasa themselves. There is a big fear in the space industry. SpaceX is set to dominate even more than it is now and there is nothing anyone is willing to do anything about it because all the other companies have shareholders to satisfy and taking risks is a no no.

[@KaziusAzran]

That prototype of Starship was not expected to reach space. The main successful outcome of the test was for Starship to lift off and get away from the launch facility which it did, although not really with expectations. The biggest failure though was the flight termination system took to long to rip open the tanks as they misjudge what it would take to rip those tanks apart. Even now, Elon Musk has stated he thinks the second test flight only has a 50/50 chance to reach orbit. These test flights goals in the early stages test not just the rockets ability to get to orbit but to test things like correlation for data for Max Dynamic Pressure, Aerodynamic Flight (although first starship flew even with outdated flap designs), now Hot Staging, etc. I'm confused how people still don't understand that SpaceX has a different way of testing rockets than other companies even though it has been stated hundreds of times by SpaceX and all of Starbase watcher youtubers that put out better news videos than 99% of the news agencies in the world. The delays in the Starship lander are more likely due to environmental agencies pushing back, possible legal battles with jealous competitors, etc. Not due to what the media considers a test flight failure when SpaceX considered it a success for what the test flight was meant to achieve.

[@R0nBurgundy]

Its definatly not causing a delay yet and the test is not a cause for concern. I suspect Starship will be ready for 2025 but Artemis won't. But there is a lot still to do for starship to be ready. They will have to land on the moon at least once before NASA will certfy it for people. That means they will need to make a new or servearl new launch towers as they can't launch from Boca as there launch licence prevents them. They also still need to do in space refuling, somthing that has never been done before. Dear moon will happen first for sure. I hopeing for late 2025 but wont be suprised if that slips a couple years who knows!

[@oopskapootz7276]

⁠@@R0nBurgundythat is very reasonable but I think the video was (unintentionally, I’m sure) misleading in directly pinning the delay of Artemis to Starship’s integrated test, see 14:45. It is also factually incorrect in saying the test did not work out as planned. As a proud patreon and long-time viewer, this is a bit disappointing.

[@ShotgunAFlyboy]

Seems like politicians are trying to throw SpaceX under the bus to cover for corruption in some of the other vendors that fell behind on Artemis. We all saw how many times A1 had to scrub.

It looks like not all of the water around Greenland is getting cooler, only the portion below, so i don’t think that would be the best explanation.

Artemis is a welfare program for the usual MIC contractors. SLS is a complete waste of money and using solid boosters is dangerous for human launches. Just let SpaceX do it on private sector money!

A useless project masquerading as science. Its only success is using ressources that should have been used for real science projects

In case nobody has mentioned it, I want you to know I >really< appreciate your sense of humor - not a character trait one typically expects in the serious sciences.

@@retiredbore378 I once had a biochemist friend, with whom I sang in church choir and played Pinochle with every week, who was barking mad! (A good sense of humor.) He was a biochemistry professor at the Ohio State University and had a strange connection with some guy he introduced as Basil, who was apparently connected in some way with discovering the steroid involved the birth control pill. (He was a real globetrotter) Dirty jokes abounded! LOL! I lost track of him when I moved away. He's probably dead by now. Someone I treasure having known in this life, no matter how ever so briefly.

I'm so glad I didn't have a single ounce of hype over LK99. Maybe it is sad that I'm jaded, but at least I'm not naive.

[@earlygenesistherevealedcos1982]

Perhaps this isn't a fifth force, but a detection of what gravity really is. As EM waves pass through sub atomic particles they change their position slightly to maximize attractive force and minimize repulsive force, resulting in a tiny net positive.

Yesterday I saw headlines to the effect of "MOND is confirmed!". I'm stunned that Sabine didn't fit this in the science news for the week. I guess next week will be fun though!

[@JollyFuchsia]

It's kind of an honour to receive news directly and regularly from such a senior and experienced scientist. Thanks, Sabine. Even though you present an opposing view to Lee Smolin lol

[@maxheadrom3088]

Yay! Sandia! I highly recommend their channel here on KZbin.

Also worth remembering not to discount a weak force because it's weak. The Weak Force itself essentially does nothing, but it's crucial for how the world works under the right conditions

[@buddygrimfield7954]

It is interesting to see how the elemental factors which interconnect to create their resonance with each other are continuously being discovered and redefined.

[@YourFurnace]

@@buddygrimfield7954 Try to see how your statement is so vague as to be almost meaningless. Elementary aspects of physics are not being continuously discovered; it happens fairly suddenly only every so often. The last major theoretical discovery I can think of is the Higgs boson in around 1962. (It can be said to be discovered then, even though it was not observed until around 10 years ago, because it is necessary for the standard model to be considered valid-which it is, even if it is not complete.

[@buddygrimfield7954]

I can see how I could have worded my (uneducated) opinion regarding my interest in how the interconnecting relationship between the known physical forces are continually being redefined a bit better than I did. But it was merely a casual comment. So, if it offended you so badly that you feel the need to "correct" me about it, perhaps you have far bigger issues than my casual comment being "almost meaningless" as you put it. Anyway, have a nice day. And I hope that works out for you.

[@srobertweiser]

I'm glad Brookhaven found my muon g -2s and their deviations from those predicted by the standard model. I've been going up the GD walls looking for those things, now I remember leaving them there. They can keep all five of my Sigmas, I've hated the Greek letter ever since my Ma bought me that Huffy Sigma for my 11th birthday back in '85 and all the kids in the neighborhood relentlessly tormented me because of those stupid discs over the spokes.

[@dchapero6929]

Your sense of humor is so German. I love it! 😂

12:30 almost misheard as Stark Lab, would love it 😍

[@richardbrown2207]

I love your descriptions of science and break down with it, but at the end.😂

[@casnimot]

In fact, every goal SpaceX had for the "4/20" launch was met or exceeded. The wish, to actually achieve orbit, was just that. The requirement, to gather useful design and performance data while developing/refining flight procedures for such a bird, was not only met. In the time since the OLM has been re-designed, re-built, radically enhanced and tested. Staging has been re-designed and a test article "can-crush" tested. Some hot-stage article will soon be installed on a modified B9 (it looks like). And as Musk said, a couple more meters of det-cord is all the self-destruct needs. NASA never has and never will move like that. Politics don't permit it.

[@ShotgunAFlyboy]

JUST like they did when prototyping the Falcon 9. Falcon 9 now reliably launches twice a week from Florida and once a week from VA or CA.

[@casnimot]

@@ShotgunAFlyboy Exactly. If the politically-motivated haters can be kept at bay, Starship will be operational next year and will fly just like Falcon 9. I mean, look how much when wrong on 4/20, and it still ascended. That stainless bird could just be a beast.

[@Reinturtle]

I remember see a headline "Sabine Hossenfelder was wrong about LK99". She should have waited a couple days to see the new results (i.e. twitter videos), before making her first video mentioning it! Yeah that aged like fine milk 🤣🤣🤣

[@tomkerruish2982]

Time to dredge up a joke from the eighties: "Yes, they've found a fifth force. However, they've also found a sixth force which exactly cancels it out."
